Cosmetic contact lenses are invisible lenses, but they are very different from ordinary contact lenses. They are colored and can beautify people's pupils, making them more attractive.

Generally speaking, the size of contact lenses is chosen according to the size of the eyes. If you have big eyes, choose large-diameter contact lenses; if you have small eyes, choose small-diameter contact lenses. Contact lenses need to match a person's eyes. They are neither too big nor too small. Wearing contact lenses that do not match your pupils can easily cause scratches, bubbles, block your vision, and may even damage your cornea.

The diameters of cosmetic contact lenses are 14.0mm, 14.2mm, 14.5mm, etc. Asians are more suitable for 14.0mm, and girls with larger eyes can try 14.2mm.

The average diameter of the cornea of ​​Chinese people is between 11.5mm and 12mm. The best wearing position is that the edge of the lens needs to exceed the cornea by 1 to 1.5mm. Therefore, the most appropriate choice of contact lenses is around 14mm.

Although contact lenses of any diameter can be worn in the eyes, for the best effect, it is better to choose the size that suits you.

When a person's myopia is above 400 degrees, when choosing cosmetic contact lenses, he or she needs to add or subtract degrees from 400 degrees.
